DELAWARE, Ohio — A Delaware Area Career Center student was taken to the hospital this morning
after a collision between her car and an Ohio Department of Natural Resources pickup truck.

The 17-year-old student, whose name was not released by the Delaware County sheriff’s office,
was taken to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital following the 7:40 a.m. crash, said Tracy
Whited, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office.

Whited said the investigators initially believed the girl had been ejected from her car, but
later clarified that the driver of the pickup truck saw her get out of her vehicle and then
collapse.

The driver of the pickup truck was not injured, Whited said.

Rt. 521 is closed in front of the school, at 1610 Rt. 521, in Delaware.
